Price Guide
Price Guide:
We do not publish actual prices. In order to satisfy the demands of sophisticated contract specifiers, we include all available manufacturer's customizations to standard products. And while we have simplified the specification process, there are far too many variations to publish prices. We also employ a flat price policy (the only fair and modern way to price products and options) which includes discounts for project volume which are finalized when the entire project is understood.
In order to provide budget guidance to clients on specific products, we have categorized each product into 3 price layers. These are seen on product pages. We use hotel types to more simply identify them:
Luxury: think of products that would be specified for luxury hotels such as the St Regis, Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, and fine dining restaurants
Boutique: these products might be found in hotels such as W, Fermdale Hotels such as Crosby Street, The Standard, etc. and in restaurant chains such as Lettuce Entertain You
Budget: these products are most likely found in hotels such as Courtyard by Marriott, etc.
This guidance will never be as precise as an actual price. We can offer accurate prices only during our estimating process when all relevant factors are known. Over many years of experience we’ve learned that this process enables us to offer the most accurate and the most competitive prices.
We do not engage in “False” pricing:
As a contract supplier, we price by project. We do not engage in false “list”, “net” pricing or deceptive discounts. We set one flat, competitive contract price for each product. And then provide project discounts based on the overall value of project orders.
This is disadvantageous to one-off residential customers but provides very competitive pricing for contract projects and benefits more broadly-based relationships.
Our project prices are calculated manually based on quote requests and confirmed with orders.
Shipping & Local Delivery Prices:
Our flat product prices are independent of logistics costs. As suppliers of products for upscale contract projects, transport requirements differ widely, and frequently our clients use their own freight forwarders. Our first priority is therefore to provide competitive and commercially acceptable prices for products. In our specification process, we ask for information that will enable estimates to meet transport requirements. These are our best estimates at the time but can quickly become out-of-date. Changing quantities and adding products also influence costs. When requested, our estimates will always include transport prices for the products within that estimate on the date provided. However these will be revisited as the order is placed.
A Project-Focused Pricing Policy:
Our goal is to enable designers to search, save & share, request samples and specify products without the usual complexities involved in this process. Our entire business is built on the premise of simplification, enabling designers to devote more time to creating beautiful spaces.
For example, on our wallpaper site, designers can move from discovery to delivery of wallpaper in six easy steps.
Simplified Pricing:
To reward our relationships on projects, we use a project-focused discount structure. Discounts will be shown on each project estimate and will be applied on our project invoices as a whole prior to the order being placed. Discounts increase based on the value of the overall order.
Adding or removing products from the project estimate:
- When products are added to the project estimate, the percentage and actual discount will grow. The reverse may happen if products are removed.
- We will reissue project estimates when changes are made. Each project estimate will carry the date of that estimate and an estimate version number.
If project estimates are split and orders are placed at different times, the initial order will be charged at the price for that order value. When the remaining orders are placed for that project, additional discounts will be applied to each succeeding order so that the original project price for all products will be achieved if all estimated products are ordered.
